One of the new concept restaurants in Bonifacio High Street Central is SLICE, the latest baby of Senator Pia Cayetano. If Sonja’s Cupcake bakery ambiance and Cafe Mary Grace’s homey feel-good food had an offspring with a focus on healthy and natural products, this would be it. 🙂 Aidan wanted to eat late at night … Continue reading A SLICE of Pia Cayetano
9/7/15 Update: The Cake Club at BGC is now closed 🙁 Most of the restaurants in Bonifacio High Street Central seem to have neglected including really good desserts in the menu, so it’s best to go to a place that specializes in desserts like The Cake Club by Diamond Hotel.

The plural of Roe is still Roe, but Rose is a better sounding name for a restaurant. Second, it takes pride in having the first sushi river in Manila where the sushi is placed … Continue reading ROSE Manila’s Sushi River and Adam’s Ice Cream
Poco Deli, the little neighborhood deli in Brgy. Kapitolyo, originally started as a distributor of fine Philippine-made deli products, which included Mickey’s Sausages and Dave’s Natural Frozen Yogurt. It also served pizza, pasta and wine, catering to its immediate neighbors as customers. The concept didn’t really appeal to us at the start, and early blog … Continue reading Poco Deli, the Blossoming of the Little Neighborhood Deli
Relik is a popular tapas bar hidden on the second floor of Commercenter Building in Bonifacio Global City. We don’t go at night when it gets packed with the bar crowd. We like eating lunch there because the place is conducive to meetings over really good meals.
